A first-timers trip to WDW!...my own invasion!!!
My aunt/uncle/counsins had a trip planned to Disneyworld and I was invited...and I had never been... and me being the disney addict...I managed to talk my parents into letting me go!!!!! As long as I only miss one of each class.
My trip began on Oct. 30 at John Wayne airport.

The sandwich I got here wasn't very impressive. But that's ok...I was just sooo stoked to be going to DisneyWORLD!!!!

I had a layover in Dallas, Texas.

My aunt and uncle picked me up from the airport (around midnight) because they were already there since they had previously been vacationing in the Bahamas.
DAY 1
The next day (Halloween) I was woken up bright and early since some of my cousins were going to make an early start and go to MGM.
http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n...D/DSCN3481.jpg
I think my excitement went crazy when I saw that!
http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n...D/DSCN3482.jpg
That's my cousin, his girlfriend, and then my littler cousin.
http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n...D/DSCN3484.jpg
MGM was all decorated for Christmas...and it was Halloween! I was very confused!
http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n...D/DSCN3485.jpg
WOW!!!!!

Re: Afirst timers trip to WDW!...my own invasion!!!
Yay! I'm excited to see your report. I just got back as well from my first trip, and already I can tell you picked up on more than I did. I was so overwhelmed by everything.
Re: Afirst timers trip to WDW!...my own invasion!!!
Ok...back from my dinner break...
More of day 1!
My uncle called us MGM'ers and said that the rest of the group was now on their way to the Magic Kingdom so it was time for us to meet up with them.
http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n...D/DSCN3502.jpg
I had NO idea you had to take either the ferry or the monorail to get there! That's so awesome! I think it makes it all the more magical!
The ferry had just left, so we took the monorail.
http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n...D/DSCN3503.jpg
view of Coronado from the monorail.
We found Halloween!

We got ahold of our group via cell phone and were told they had just gone on Haunted Mansion (which I am angry to say I never got the chance to go on...)
So we met them at Splash.
http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n...D/DSCN3514.jpg
Brer Frog? hmmmm
http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n...D/DSCN3515.jpg

Yeah...it was pretty overwhelming for me as well...and I too know I missed a lot of things!
It's sooo crazy!
Re: Afirst timers trip to WDW!...my own invasion!!!
Great Pics so far. I like the pumpkin people in Magic Kingdom. Why your cousin always have to ruin shots of you
Re: Afirst timers trip to WDW!...my own invasion!!!
Great report! I'm glad you definitely took the time to shoot the pumpkin people! It was something I saw and just went blank when it came time to photographing it!
Re: Afirst timers trip to WDW!...my own invasion!!!
Totally weird that Christmas decor was already up on Halloween
Re: Afirst timers trip to WDW!...my own invasion!!!
What a great trip report!! I can't wait to see more!
Christmas decorations up on Halloween=Craziness!!!!

MORE day 1!!!
http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n...D/DSCN3573.jpg
Their color scheme is a bit different than ours...but I like it!
http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n...D/DSCN3574.jpg
Everyone wanted to go on this...
http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n...D/DSCN3577.jpg
I must say..it was rather disgusting.
http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n...D/DSCN3578.jpg
Kewt!
http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n...D/DSCN3581.jpg
I liked these palm trees. haha
On to...
http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n...D/DSCN3582.jpg
http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n...D/DSCN3583.jpg
I think I like our long sign better.
I really did like their rockets...and that's wat's said to be coming for Matterhorn and I'm excited...but...there was no music during the ride!!!!! That made it less exciting..
Next stop...Buzz...
http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n...D/DSCN3584.jpg
My cousin and g/f...I really liked this pic
http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n...D/DSCN3586.jpg
they're in jail with Zurg!!! haha. Leave 'em there...
http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n...D/DSCN3587.jpg
That's a new face...
Ok...my overall impression of Buzz...was not good. I did not like WDW buzz @ all! The guns were attatched to the cars making it much more difficult to shoot and the gun's button hurt my fingers...I LOVE our buzz compared to this one.
Next stop:
